Fruit Bowl

While we were in Sibu the missionaries invited us to join them for their weekly tradition of having a fruit bowl on Thursday night.  Very refreshing!  Shaved ice with a sauce made of syrup, sweeten condense milk and coconut milk. Fresh fruit, one slice of canned peach, some firm gelatin pieces and a red jelly (that is not very sweet).   Just right combination.  Colorful and yummy.  Had to eat it quickly because it melted fast on a Malaysian evening.


Lacau

We met her on our way to Sibu.  The drive to Sibu takes about 6 hours from Kuching.  This stop is Lacau and is about 3 hours out of Kuching.  She had her sewing machine there and worked on ties, vests, sashes, book covers.   We bought a vest and some ties from her.  It is Iban traditional fabric.  She is making some Book of Mormon covers for Elder Boyter that we will pick up in July when we go back to Sibu.  She has no teeth but she allowed us a take a picture of her.  She is a wonderful Christian woman who accepted our gift of the Book of Mormon.
